    Help! Rooster tore off skin on hen's head

    I was checking on my chickens to put them up for the night and found one of my hens hiding in the corner. Her feathers were askew so I was concerned. Then I noticed that her ruffled feathers were attached to a flap of skin barely attached to her head. She has no skin on her head from her comb...

    Roo has purple comb, is lethargic and wheezing

    This morning I found my rooster in the bushes, hiding away from everyone. When the hens saw him they started to chase him and peck at him so I brought him inside. I then noticed his comb was a very dark purple and he was gasping for breath. He has been in isolation until I can figure out what's...

    What breeds are these?

    I have a bunch of extras from Ideal and no clue what they are. I do have suspicions though, and it would be great to have them confirmed. This one is a roo, I think a OEGB but not sure of the color. It's not apparent in this picture but his tail is really long. This is another view of...

    What breed starts out white and turns red?

    I have a chick about 2 months old who when I first got him, was yellow, however when his feathers started to come in they were red. I was wondering if he was perhaps a sex-link but when I looked it up male red sex links are born white and remain white. What could he be? In addition, is this...

    Chick is panting, won't open eyes, and won't eat

    One of my EE chicks is panting constantly and is squinting it's eyes. It is moving around between the heat lamp and the cool area of the brooder so I don't think heat is a problem. It has stopped eating and drinking but I have been dipping it's beak into the water dish. I am really concerned...

    I ordered some chicks from Ideal and they sent me 16 (!!!) males for warmth. I know what most are but a couple I'm not sure about. Chick #1 has a white mask around his face and clean legs. Chick #2 is a bantam with feathered legs. He's larger than chicks 3-5 though. Chicks #3-5 are tiny...

    Chick is panting constantly

    I got some chicks yesterday and everything was going well but when I went to check on the chicks this morning one of the EEs was panting heavily. I assumed it was overheated and placed it near the waterer and away from the heat lamp. It took a drink and went back under the heat lamp and...

    Need A Rooster! (Near Lake Charles, LA)

    So, we're moving out to the country and I thought my girls might need some protection, as they aren't the brightest birds. It doesn't matter the breed but I would prefer a standard sized one, not a bantam, as all of my hens are standard. I would also prefer one about a year old, so he fits in...

    Chicken is missing an eye- I don't know what to do

    I'm not sure who did it but one of my chickens pecked out another chickens eye. I'm kind of freaking out and not sure what to do. Do I try and figure out who did it and cull them? Is it a one time thing? How do I treat the eye? I really don't want it getting infected. Is there anything I can...

    Infected cut on chick's toe

    A couple of days ago I picked up some new chicks from TSC. Today I noticed my feather footed bantam had poo stuck to his feet so I soaked them in warm water. It came off quite easily.
